Anyone have Etonics???
« on: November 25, 2006, 03:17:16 AM »
Well I think I am going to get me a new pair of shoes.  Thinking about trying out the Etonic stabilite plus black.  Decent looking shoe which I dont care about I am more worried about performance.  I have not been happy with Dexter or Dynothane.  I have seen a couple people with Etonics and apparently you tell them which heel you want and they put it on there correct?  How good are there slide soles, I am looking for something with a bunch of brake, I use my heel as break and when I put it down I wanna stop!  I bowl on wood approaches mainly so I need to be able to know there soles are not all slippery and need one or two that are very sticky.  Thanks, Jordan

IMHO, the best shoes available.  I've had a pair Stabilite Pluses since last November.  Bought them as a solution to Plantar Fasciitis and they ended up being the most comfortable shoe I've worn in addition to curing my foot.  That includes Dexter SST 6 LX and ABS Tour Ultras.  I really like the arch support and feel.  They are still going strong and haven't shown any signs of wearing out.

I just ordered a backup pair from bowlingball.com for $60.

If you want brake with the heel, you will get it with Etonics.  I just got the Stablite Dress and heels really stop you.  Maybe a little too much for me.  I have to be a little lighter with my footwork. The nice part of the soles is that I used an 8 on Dexters and with Etonics I use a 6.  My Etonics came with a 4 and 8 sole.  So this give me a chance for more or less slide.  The Dexters normally come with a 8 as max slide.  A Dexter 10 sole is a separate purchase.

I noticed a lot of pros on TV are using Etonics.  Not quite as much as Dexters, but it is closer than I expected.
